Here's something you may not have seen before. It's a bit long, but worth your time.
The Mundus Cereris was a womb or labyrinthine passage to the underworld, the domain of Ceres, the great Mother of vegetation who was the Roman equivalent of Demeter. The structure was vaulted in the shape of an inverted sky, divided into two parts, and had a cover. It is believed to have been located on the Palatine Hill in Rome.
The cover was removed every year on August 24, October 5, and November 8, and these days were religious holidays, when the way was supposed to be open to the underworld. First-fruits of the season would be offered to the Manes (ancestral spirits) and placed in the pit.
Because the cover to the Mundus, the Lapis Manalis (Stone of the Manes), was considered an Ostium Orci (Gate of Hades), the Manes were freed to roam through the world of the living for the day, so marriage was not permitted on those three days, and the conduct of battles or business was not considered to be advisable.
In our political system election day periodically falls on November 8, so it might be instructive to ask which Presidents were elected on a day that (to the Romans, at least) the Gate of Hell was open. They were (in order):
- Abraham Lincoln (first term)
- Grover Cleveland
- Theodore Roosevelt
- Franklin D. Roosevelt (first term)
- John F. Kennedy
- George Herbert Walker Bush
- Donald J. Trump
In addition, there was one President who was born on October 5: Chester A. Arthur
It’s interesting that the list includes our two most beloved martyrs (Lincoln and Kennedy) and one of the most reviled presidents (Trump), but bad things happen if you conduct business while the Gate of Hell is open.

What makes this all very interesting is that Trump is back in the frame, and this time we seem to be on the doorstep of the End Times. What role, if any, will Trump play in the fulfilment of Biblical prophecy?
Some people say that Trump must be blessed, since G-d saved him from an assassin's bullet. I would certainly like to believe that, but there are other possible explanations. For example, there is this passage about Satan's temptation of Christ (Luke 4:5-7 KJV):
And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
If Satan was being truthful, and the glory of earthly kingdoms really is his to bestow as he pleases, perhaps it is HE who is protecting Trump. I cannot say for certain, but it's a possibility.
There is also the implication of this passage (Revelation 17:11 KJV):
And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
This verse is usually associated with the Antichrist. Since Trump is the eighth US president elected or born on a day when the Gate of Hell was open, and is "of the seven", this makes him a candidate to fulfill that role.
It all depends on what happens next. We the People soon will vote to select the next president, but is that what will happen ... or does G-d or Satan actually make the choice for us?
Stay tuned, as they say. Someone will replace Biden, and whoever is chosen will either start World War III, or prevent it.
